Kirby's Dream Land 2 is actually... rather different than the original Game Boy game, which may surprise people if they didn't manage to play the second Kirby game, Kirby's Adventure for the NES. Instead of just sucking in and spitting out enemies, you can suck them in and take their abilities, that and the game is much longer. It's not a bad change and it will definitely gets more game out of the cartridge. Weirdly, I think I actually prefer the first game simply because it's the absolute perfect length for a Game Boy game, short and sweet. Kirby's Dream Land 2 doesn't outstay its welcome, not by a long shot. The game is just absolute bliss in cartridge form, an incredible testament to Nintendo's quality.
The graphics are incredibly personable and cute, just what I want. The soundtrack is one of the best on the Game Boy, the controls are classic Kirby and with the new addition of enemy power-up's, Kirby's Dream Land 2 may be the best place to start if you are just getting into Kirby. It's an incredible game and a Game Boy classic.
